OC's Jewelz - Classic or Not?

[Whips-n-Chains]

Nah. Just bc an album is dope and a
20+ years old, does NOT make it a classic

I don't know man... I'll easily call "My World" and "M.U.G.", "It" songs.

Those songs are both still as dope and fresh today as when I first heard them on a Tony touch mixtape back in '97... That effortless flow that Omar is using on My World is simply

"I'm OC, who you? never heard of ya, get out my face before i turn into a motherfukkin murderer!"
Absolutely one of those songs. I just mean "it" as in it hits with the larger audience, teh same way a shook ones, cream etc would.

Classic, I'll put this up against any album lowkey

Opening with my world and closing with jewelz


Not many albums messing with that.


Stellar/legendary production lineup too

Far from yours is one the illest radio singles of all time too.

I played this album to death

I love this thread. Great post.

My World = One of the best collabo’s Preemo ever did.

Jewelz

Jewelz

I misread...I was thinking you said Lord Finesse rapped over the premier intro beat on a different song

Like this Big L "remix" of Dangerzone
